Proclamation of
Hospital Week
«
Among the institutions and or
ganizations which benefit the citi
zens of Tryon and Polk County,
St. Luke’s Hospital has a unique
claim upon their estem and sup
port. Its service to the community
is recognized by the Duke Founda
tion and by the County, both of
which appropriate funds toward
its maintenance. Its Facilities
are increasingly appreciated by
those who are able to pay for their
care, but more than half of the
patients it revieves are able to re
turn little but gratitude.
Accidents? illness which cannot
properly be cared for at home,
childbirth and the need for minor
and major surgical operations
occur in the families of the rich
and the poor, to citizens, sojourn
ers and strangers. The doors of St.
Lukes Hospital are open to all.
To maintain the hospital for the
current year, approximately $6,000
will be required, in addition to the
sources of income which have been
indicated. During the week com
mencing March 26. St. Lukes Hos
pital Association will call upon
the citizens of Tryon and Polk
County to contribute toward this
amoq^it.
Now, therefore, I, Ernest Mis
sildine, Mayor of Tryon, do here
by designate the week of March
26th as Hospital Week, and com
mend to all citizens of Tryon the
duty and privilege of supporting
St. Luke’s Hospital.
E. E. Missildine,Mayor
